Nobody's Perfect

As I read the second book of Samuel, I started to see David with different eyes. I used to think that because he was chosen by God and had his support, he was a perfect being. Or at least someone that was almost all good and that follow the Ten Commandments. But when I read the second book of Samuel, this began to change. I was able to see that David was just like any human being, he made terrible mistakes and committed horrible sins. He was not any more perfect than I am. "4) And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came into him, and he lay with her; for she was purified from her uncleanness: and she returned unto her house." (2 Samuel 11: 4).
When I read this, it was when I first thought that David was DEFINETLY NOT perfect. He committed adultery, something that according to religion is one of the worst sins someone can make. Something that is said not do by the Ten Commandments. But David was seduced by temptation. Just like we all are everyday of our lives. Everyday we all face temptation and almost everytime we face this, we are sdeuced by it. The reason why we all sin is because as humans we go under temptation. Many times we are not strong enough to fight against it. None of us is perfect, no matter what.
Even God's chosen people (Abraham, Moses, David) commit mistakes. And this made me ask myself: Why does God chooses sinners as his chosen ones? Why doesn't he just pick perfect people? After thinking about these two questions, I got my answers. The reason why God chooses sinners and not perfect people is because there is not a perfect person in the world. Everyone makes mistakes because we are all humans. We all are seduced by temptations, therefore we are all sinners. This made me realize that God didn't choose these people because they are perfect or because we should be just like them. God chose these people because they show us that even though we are all sinners and we make mistakes, we can still to something good for humanity. We don't need to be perfect (because we can't), but we can help others and make the best of ourselves.
